No person or persons shall place in any public
street, right-of-way or on the sidewalk of any public street any fixed
or portable basketball net, or backboard or other equipment or apparatus
for the playing of basketball or any other sport for which such an
apparatus can be used nor shall such equipment or apparatus be placed
on private property or in the vicinity of any public right-of-way
such that the use of the equipment or apparatus will tend to require
any user to be in and about the public right-of-way.

No person shall place, deposit, fix or allow
to remain on any utility pole located on any sidewalk, adjacent lands
or street any article, including but not limited to basketball hoops
or other recreational equipment, in such a manner that the intended
use of the article so attached to the utility pole would wholly or
partially obstruct and encumber the sidewalk, street, or public right-of-way.

There shall be a presumption that the person or persons
who have violated these provisions are those who control the private
property on which the equipment or apparatus is situated, or if the
equipment or apparatus is in a public right-of-way, those who control
the private property closest to the equipment or apparatus.
